Celestine had 25.3 percent of the vote against Moise’s 32.8 percent during the first round.

Moise who is going on with his campaign was ahead during the first-round polling in October and has the backing of president Michel Martelly.

Radical opposition protesters blocked streets on Monday demanding a transitional government be put in place to organise new elections.

“On January 24, there will not be elections. We will have our machetes and stones in hand. We say to everyone: Close your doors and stay inside because we will not be participating in elections,” protester Betty Milou told the crowd.

Jude Celestine is advocating peace and has denounced the interference of the international community.
